Subject: small submission
Hi,
enclosed please find a tiny diff which makes megadriv_vdp_r & megadriv_vdp_w
handlers in megadriv.c non-static (and includes them in megadriv.h).
This small change, while making essentially no difference for MAME, would make
life easier to maintain pico emulation in MESS.

Hi, enclosed please find a small fix for the typo causing berlwall inputs
breakage. No matter how extensively I test my changes, some typos always
succeed to slip through my cross checks :(
Anyway, this regression is fixed.

Subject: Fix for MT bug 2114
Hi,
enclosed please find a patch which fixes the red/blue inversion for eolith.c
games. It regressed in 0.124, when the driver it's been converted from bitmap_format_rgb15
to bitmap_format_indexed16 with the wrong palette_init.
Hi there,
Astro Wars (Zaccaria 1980) can be added to the galaxia.c.
The attract mode works and it uses the same hardware and
the rom names/lacations are identical.
The picture shows three screenshots of Astro Wars, the left and middle uses
only one of the gfx roms and the right both.
M*A*S*H
New game NOT WORKING: Astro Wars
* Added roms/unemulated/Irem/iremM10_incomplete.zip as ipminva1 to m10.c
* Marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
* The roms are all different from ipminvad, one is missing. The game does
enough to see that it is some sort of invaders type game.
* Added roms/unemulated/Irem/ww3_roms.zip as ww3 to redalert.c
* Dumped by Stefan Lindberg
* Please credit Stefan Lindberg as well
* Either redalert is the clone or ww3 is the clone. Redalert has a speech board in addition
to the m37b audio board.

WW III [Stefan Lindberg, Couriersud]
This handler works for both disc-only games and those with overlays.
For disc-only games, the base macro is sufficient. For games with
overlays, an additional set of configuration macros are provided:
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY - specifies update function, width, height,
and bitmap format of the overlay
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_CLIP - specifies the visible area of the
overlay bitmap
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_POSITION - specifies default x,y position
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_SCALE - specifies default x,y scale factors
The update function provided to MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY is identical to
a normal VIDEO_UPDATE callback, so a standard one can be used. All
existing laserdisc drivers have been updated to support this new
rendering mechanism, removing much duplicated code.
Added the ability to configure the overlay position and scale
parameters at runtime. Added OSD menus to control them. Added logic
to save/restore the data in the game's configuration file.
Added new macros MDRV_LASERDISC_SCREEN_ADD_NTSC and _PAL, which
defines a standard screen with the correct video timing characteristics
and update function for laserdiscs. Updated all drivers to use these
macros instead of defining their own screens.
Added DISK_REGIONS to all laserdisc drivers.
Added DISK_IMAGE_READONLY_OPTIONAL to support games (like Cube Quest)
where the disk is non-essential to the game's operation.
Fixed bug in identifying the custom sound driver for the laserdisc.
Updated ldverify to identify blank regions of the disc for post-
processing.
Fixed rendering 16bpp with alpha using bilinear filters (fixes
screenshots of laserdisc games with overlays).
Included support for parsing .gdi files in chdman. [ElSemi]
Added new driver for Cube Quest. This includes CPU cores for the three
bitslice processors, as well as laserdisc support for the hacked
laserdisc that was used to drive the games.
[Philip Bennett, Joe Magiera, Warren Ondras]
Note that the SHA1/MD5 for the laserdisc will likely undergo at least
one more change before being finalized.
- Moved IRQ handling front-end into recompiled code
- Added TSTM/ANDM/XORM instructions
- Added SH-1 CPU support, including lower precision on MAC.W and locking out SH-2 only instructions
- Simulated the co-processor to pass the initial test.
- All Inputs worked from the scratch.
- Fixed position of tilemap layers.
- Added scroll register preliminary support.
- Fixed Super Pool graphics.
